Our real Fiesta Bowl preview is coming this afternoon (probably just after lunch). Until then, we’re going to serenade you with some haiku, which I’m pretty sure is Japanese for silly poem. Enjoy these, and if you’re feeling spry, add your own in the comments.

You’re too kind, Jon D.
I can’t explain what’s happened
Haikus keep coming
———————————
I have not written
This many haikus since I
Was in junior high
———————————
Tostitos trophy
Will look good displayed in our
Hall of Traditions
———————————
Just way too much salt
is my complaint with their brand
of tortilla chips
———————————
And, well, their salsa
Frankly tastes too ketchupy
But the bowl game’s cool
———————————
Governor Joe thinks
Saban should be the head coach
You keep dreaming, Joe
———————————
Pastilong in charge?
What’s up with the coaching search?
Program in crisis?
———————————
Things looking iffy
Garrison must right the ship
True fans keep the faith
———————————
Boosters in revolt
Kendrick donates one million
Ken, that’s a good start . . .
———————————
Rich in Ann Arbor
Pitt loss lives in infamy
Mounties persevere
———————————
Mountaineer mascot
Hold on to your coonskin cap
And load your rifle!
———————————
This sure has been fun
Charley West’s haikus, I mean
So, same time next year?

Game time approaches
Anxiety level spikes
Waiting’s the hardest
———-
Umm, Frankie Valli?
Odd choice to do the anthem
Oh, say, can’t you sing?
———-
Pat McAffee kicks
A 50-yarder sails wide
Inauspicious start
———-
Defense awakens
Wicks and the seniors
We’ll miss them next year
———-
Slaton pulls hammy
Noel Devine takes the field
Seamless transition
———-
Where was Steve Slaton?
The question of this season
He deserved better
———-
Pat White runs and throws
Jump-starts next year’s Heisman run
What a fine young man
———-
McAffee kicks two
field goals and makes awesome punts
Redemption is sweet
———-
Owen Schmitt rumbles
Running off into legend
A fitting swan song
———-
Bob Stoops goes for 2
Inexplicable onsides
kick seals Sooners’ fate
———-
White to Gonzales
Seventy-nine yard TD
Do that more next year!
———-
The Fiesta Bowl:
Come for the football and stay
For the penalties
———-
Devine takes it in
Our longest run in a bowl
Explosive offense!
———-
Fiesta shocker
Forty-eight to twenty-eight
‘Eers over Sooners
———-
OU and its fans
Are not too fond of Glendale
First Boise, now this
———-
Owen Schmitt sheds tears
TosTito Gonzales too
I’m getting verklempt
———-
On the message boards
Classy OU Sooner fans
Tip hats to the ‘Eers
———-
This team held the rope
Quite unlike Rich Rodriguez
Fiesta Bowl Champs
———-
Loveable Coach Stew
Takes the reins of the program
I sure hope this works
———-
Let’s capitalize
On success and reach new heights
Let’s go, Mountaineers!
